"Around 250,000–500,000 children in developing countries become blind each year owing to Vitamin A Deficiency, with the highest prevalence in Southeast Asia and Africa. Golden rice is a genetic engineering project designed to fortify rice with beta-carotene (which humans can convert into vitamin A) and thereby prevent and/or treat Vitamin A Deficiency."
